Arizona doesn’t need a legacy pick.
Via AZ Central:
Gov. Doug Ducey will wait to name a successor to John McCain until after the late senator has been buried at the U.S. Naval Academy Cemetery in Maryland, an aide to the governor told The Arizona Republic on Saturday.
“Out of respect for the life and legacy of Senator John McCain and his family, Governor Ducey will not be making any announcements about an appointment until after the Senator is laid to rest,” Ducey’s senior adviser Daniel Ruiz II said in a statement.
“Now is a time for remembering and honoring a consequential life well lived.”
McCain died Saturday at his family’s home near Sedona after a 13-month battle with brain cancer. He was 81.
The timing of McCain’s burial is unknown. His body is expected to lay in state in both Phoenix and Washington, D.C. Services in both cities are also expected, but details have not been announced.
